Ohio Pen Show Updates: Exhibitors; Seminars; Displays

[ohiopens]

We have a couple of updates to the list of Exhibitors:

 

Somehow when proofing the list we managed to miss that Steve and Maryann Zucker had been left off. A major oversight as they are regulars at the Ohio Show with three tables. They will be offering the opportunity to "test drive" Signum pens and always have an interesting selection of limited editions, etc. at favorable prices. Watch for them on the wall inside the main ballroom.

 

John Corwin will be taking a table but Tom Zoss will not have a table(he is hoping to attend as a weekend registrant).

 

Barbara Binder WILL be assisting Richard. They are a team and I should not have left her name off the list! I thought it was interesting last year that weekend registrants lined up at 8 am on Sunday morning at Richard's table for nib work.

 

We neglected to indicate that the James Partridge on the list is THE Partridge in the Pear Tree Pen Company. James hails from Ann Arbor, Michigan and is one of the hardest working exhibitors I have seen. He will have two tables.

 

Pen Collectors of America will have a full table at this year's show. Members will be able to have questions answered, member status checked and pay dues as necessary. Non-members will have an opportunity to ask questions and consider membership. Those signing up as new members at the show will receive 3 back issues of PENnant magazine and a member badge on the spot!

 

We will have a special display of Conklin Nozac pens at the PCA table. Be sure to check it out! We also plan to have a of display of RARE pens including a PARKER AZTEC EYE DROPPER PEN!!!

 

PCA will hold a general membership meeting on Friday evening at 8 pm following the annual pizza party. New board members will be introduced.

 

PCA will offer a workshop on Saturday, November 3, 12 noon. The workshop will be lead by board member Linda Bauer. This is being offered under the PENS FOR KIDS project. Attendees(kids and adults are invited) will learn about the history of fountain pens and will generally explore the pen collecting hobby. Jack Leone, Bexley Pen Company, will show how Bexley pens are made-try your hand at assembling pens!!
